Name: Hash Browned Zucchini

Category: Atkins Diet

Ingredients and Directions

Yield: 4 servings

1 1/2 pounds zucchini

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 eggs

6 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, grated

1 garlic clove, minced or pressed

1/4 cup butter

Coarsely shred zucchini (you should have about 4 cups) and combine with salt in a medium−size bowl. Let stand for 15 minutes. Squeeze with your hands to press out moisture. Stir in eggs, cheese and garlic. Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a wide frying pan over medium−high heat. Mound about 2 tablespoons of the zucchini mixture in pan; flatten slightly to make a patty. Repeat until pan is filled, but don't crowd patties in pan. Cook patties, turning once, until golden on both sides (about 6 minutes). Lift out and arrange on a warm platter; keep warm. Repeat to cook remaining zucchini mixture, adding more butter as needed.
